CITY OF EMBER (2008) (a)

“The main thing is, pay attention. Pay close attention to everything, everything you see. Notice what no one else notices. And you’ll know what no one else knows.”

Comment:
Successful people are people who can predict the future and be prepared for it. Carefully, make use of every opportunity.
There is a legend about why God created three look alike animals (donkeys, Horses, and Zebra). It is said that long time ago God saw that humans found it difficult to travel in a long distance while carrying goods. So God decided to send donkeys to help human to travel and to carry. Donkeys became the first animal to help human to travel and to carry. However, God noticed that donkeys weren’t fast and strong enough to help human in their activities. Therefore God sent horses to be human’s partners in their transportation activities. Horses became the best animal to be human’s partner in transportation. But still, humans were too busy and they finally became dull, and again, God understood about it. And so, God sent down Zebras to amuse humans. Zebras became the unique animal to accompany humans to live their lives.
The point that I am trying to convey to you is that pay attention and be grateful for everything around you. Then you will find chances and opportunities. Never be hesitate to take them because intentionally, as the children of God, You could be the first one to find the opportunities, the best one who can take advantage of the opportunities or you could be the unique one in dealing with opportunities. Any way will do.
